Deleted4169753User Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I updated to the 1.6 Beta, opened up Wrye Bash and some of the mods on the list have a red box next to them along with an error basically saying Wrye Bash doesn't recognize Update.esm. I knew this was inevitable, but I wanted to ask if there is any way to resolve this without entirely disabling half the mods or is it up to the mod creators to repackage their mods to make it compatible with 1.6? I'm not a savvy Wrye Bash user and have only gone as far as using the Bash Patch feature. I guess my real question is: Is it common for mods to have missing masters every time Bethesda rolls out an update? Just looking for assurance, too I guess, otherwise I'll have to roll back to 1.5. Another question, is it possible to transfer my "Data" folder to a secondary drive, then have NMM remap the mod folder to the secondary drive? Will Skyrim still launch with all the mods from the secondary drive? The reason I ask is that, my primary drive is at it's last few gigs of space and I'm pushing it with all these texture packs which make the game look more immersive and awesome. Thanks for any one out there who can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizardOfAtlantis Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 No, it's not normal. For some reason, opting into 1.6 beta blotched my update.esm for some reason, and Wrye no longer recognized it (said there was an error there somewhere) and gave all those missing masters you're talking about. I used a copy I had of the update.esm and copied it over and Wrye gave me no more problems. I still CTD on start up, but that's probably because of a mod I have that's a no-go for the beta and I haven't figured out what it is yet. Also, for me at least, BOSS doesn't seem to work.

rulebee Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I found out that the mod that was giving me a CTD at startup after installing the beta 1.6 was Arrows Tweaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraquar Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Beta updates are best tested without mods - mod authors simply don't have the time to make a different compatibility patch for something that may or may not go final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted4169753User Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Ok, thanks guys. It looks like I'll have to roll back to 1.5 then. It's a hard sell, because horse combat is pretty awesome even though it's very difficult to hit anyone on horseback, but then I have other mods that extend and overhaul gameplay mechanics like Vampires Revisted and ACE. I hope Bethesda refines and tweaks horse combat more. On another note, is anyone else missing the reticule when using bows on horseback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
